The River, Starring Hugh Jackman, Recoups on Broadway

The River, starring Tony winner Hugh Jackman, has recouped its $3.2 million capitalization. The Jez Butterworth-penned drama began performances at the Circle in the Square Theatre on October 31 and has played at over 100% capacity every week since.

Directed by Ian Rickson, The River is Butterworth’s follow-up to the Tony-nominated Jerusalem. The play tells the story of a man and a woman in a remote cabin on a moonless night.

In addition to Jackman, the play stars Laura Donnelly and Cush Jumbo in their Broadway debuts. The River  has extended its limited engagement through February 8, 2015.
